Wall.Create throwing exception

[joesferrazza2589]

I'm having trouble figuring out why the new Wall.Create method is throwing an ArgumentNullException against my curve.  What's throwing me off is that the deprecated method of creating a wall works just fine with the same curve.

I'm getting the curve from another element's location property (and previously ensuring it has a curve based location and not a locationpoint)

LocationCurve lCurve = (LocationCurve)elem.Location;

curves.Append(lCurve.Curve);

My curve is not null and is of type Autodesk.Revit.DB.Line (see attachment) but throws an exception when I try to create a wall using the static Wall.Create method.

     foreach (Curve c in curveArray)
     {
        // This works but is deprecated
         Wall w = uidoc.Document.Create.NewWall(c, uidoc.ActiveView.GenLevel, false);

         // This throws an ArgumentNullException (see attachment)
         Wall wall = Wall.Create(uidoc.Document, c, uidoc.ActiveView.GenLevel.Id, false);
     }

Is there something else that changed with the new Wall.Create method or am I missing something else?  Has anyone else seen this?

Anyone?  Autodesk?

Here is a simple example that throws the same exception when your selection set contains a line or wall.

public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string message, ElementSet elements)
{
    UIDocument uiDoc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument;

    Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection.SelElementSet set = uiDoc.Selection.Elements;

    foreach (Element e in set)
    {
        Wall.Create(uiDoc.Document, (e.Location as LocationCurve).Curve, uiDoc.ActiveView.GenLevel.Id, false);
    }
    return Result.Succeeded;
}

If I replace Wall.Create with the code below it works fine but this method is obsolete:

uiDoc.Document.Create.NewWall((e.Location as LocationCurve).Curve, uiDoc.ActiveView.GenLevel, false);

Hi Joe,

Please try with Curve.Clone() instead share the same curve between two elements. The Clone() will ensure a copy is used and avoid further problems.
